Newcastle 3200+ available at Newegg

[Penoir]

I just checked newegg and they now have the Newcastle 3200+ listed instead of the clawhammer. It still says clawhammer as the core on the description, but the frequency is 2.2 GHZ and the L2 is 512k. The model# is ADA3200AXBOX which is the newcastle retail box number. Here is the link:

Newcastle Athlon 64 3200+ Retail

Zipzoomfly.com still has the 1mb cache Clawhammer (279 with 2 day fed ex):


Clawhammer Athlon 64 3200+

Interesting! Thanks for the heads-up Penoir.

I can't imagine what would compel one to purchase this over the real ClawHammer which is cheaper, has full 1mb lvl 2 cache, and performs about 5% better.

My thoughts exactly.....

New stepping with formal support for three DDR400 DIMMs comes to mind as a possible perk Maybe some of the Clawhammer 3200+'s are now the updated stepping as well.

It must have been an error, Link is now dead.

it cant be a true newcastle becuase the 2.2GHz newcastle is a 3500+. this is the 512KB clawhammer chip.

Not if it's on socket 754.
